PC Leadership Forums kick off in Summerside on September 12th

Summerside – The first of four leadership forums with the two candidates for the leadership of

the Prince Edward Island Progressive Conservative party is taking place in
Summerside on Tuesday, September 12th.

“Our leadership candidates have been busy all summer engaging Islanders in
traditional and non-traditional ways. They’ve been listening, talking about the
need for change and their visions for a better Prince Edward Island. Our
leadership forums will let Islanders hear directly from Brad and James about the
issues that matter to Islanders,” said Margaret Anne Walsh, President of the
Prince Edward Island Progressive Conservative party.

The first leadership forum will be held at Credit Union Place in Summerside on
Tuesday, September 12th beginning at 7:00 p.m. The forum will also be streamed
online through the PEI PC Party Facebook page. Additional leadership forums will
be held across Prince Edward Island over the next month in Bloomfield,
Charlottetown and Brudenell.

Walsh noted that the leadership forums are open to the public and that the public will
have an opportunity to ask questions of the two leadership candidates,
Rustico-Emerald MLA Brad Trivers and Stratford-Kinlock MLA James Aylward. The
public will also have an opportunity to submit questions online.

“We want our leadership process to be open, inclusive and engaging. That’s why we’re
having early voting across the Island and by mail-in ballot over an extended
time period. Our leadership forums will be another step in that engagement with
Islanders, “ said Walsh.
